This product is a brass tap connector with a 1/2" BSP thread, designed to join a standard 1/2" BSP tap inlet to flexible tails, copper pipework or other plumbing fittings. Its primary use is to provide a reliable, threaded connection between a mixer tap or basin tap and the incoming water supply in domestic and commercial sanitary installations.

The connector is manufactured from a dezincification-resistant copper alloy, typically specified to CW617N/CW614N to meet potable water requirements and offer long-term corrosion resistance. The finish is natural machined brass, bright and easy to inspect. The thread is 1/2" BSP (G 1/2) parallel, conforming to ISO 228-1 (BSPP) and compatible with traditional BS/ISO pipe thread fittings; where pressure-tight joints are required, standard sealing methods such as PTFE tape or approved washers should be used. As this is a simple coupling fitting, head type and drive type are not applicable.

Typical applications include connecting kitchen, bathroom and utility room taps to flexible hose tails or copper supply pipes, use within central heating systems where brass fittings are accepted, caravan and marine plumbing where resistance to corrosion is important, and general maintenance and repair work carried out by plumbers, building services engineers and facilities teams. The connector is suitable for both cold and hot water services within the normal temperature and pressure limits of domestic potable systems.

Key benefits of this brass tap connector are its inherent corrosion resistance against rust and scaling, good mechanical strength for repeated assembly and disassembly, and broad compatibility with standard 1/2" BSP plumbing components and hoses. The CW6x7N family of alloys provides increased resistance to dezincification, making the fitting suitable for long-term exposure to potable water compared with standard brass alloys.

Duchy Fasteners stocks this brass tap connector in the common 1/2" BSP size and supplies it as single items for tradespeople and in trade packs for contractors. If you need alternative sizes or bulk quantities, please contact Duchy Fasteners for availability and pack options.
